Integrative Health
Where Neuroscience Meets Consciousness
Krista Swanson + Gary Gleason
As an integrative health team, we offer a fresh, holistic approach to expansive healing and aligned personal growth. We work at the level of the heart, the meeting place of transcendence and embodiment. We work where the art of love and the science clinical + developmental psychology, neuroscience, contemplative traditions, and consciousness converge. Non-duality serves as our philosophical framework for understanding human flourishing. From a non-dual perspective, the heart is the doorway through which awareness recognizes itself in all things. Healing becomes the restoration of relationship—with oneself, with others, with the body, with nature, and with the deeper ground of Being itself. We hold a frame of unity consciousness grounded in compassion, connection and respect for diverse belief systems.
In sessions, we invite the exploration of awareness. As awareness recognizes its own nature, it often flowers as compassion, tenderness, gratitude, and love. Dropping into awareness of Being, dissolves the illusion of and suffering caused by existing in separation from all that is. Peace comes while resting in the deep knowing of who you really are. In your true essence, you are not damaged. You are not broken. Your true essence is already and eternally whole. The remembering, the reclamation of this truth within the heart transforms every bit of you. Witnessing your personal transformation in truth is the great honor of our lives.

Krista and Gary are present with you throughout each integrative session. These sessions are offered as ongoing work or as part of 2-4 day intensives for those traveling in to Aspen for this deep work. Integrative sessions are offered seperate from or in tandem with psychotherapy sessions, either ongoing or during the 2-4 day intensives.
Our goal is to create an environment which invites exploration of all inner experiences-including the ones that are difficult or impossible to put into words, the ones that drive cycles which can leave us to feeling stuck or victimized within our own minds and bodies. We welcome you to co-create a space where you invite what makes you pulse, what allows you to access renewed energy, agency, and desire.
